in 2017 we have a video of Mr. Buxkemper who shows he is a man of many words! He is excellent in presenting.
Grand total for donation to the South Plains Honor Flight for 2017, $5200. L to r, Mark Heinrich, Don Heinrich, Eric Hybner, and Larry Buxkemper. Thanks to everyone that and helped us to raise this. Forgot to mention that our Idalou members cooked kettle corn that day also, got to give credit to everyone who worked their tails off on June 3rd. It is a great honor to be a part of a wonderful program. We were honored to be a part of the honor guard that saw the veterans off and on their return to Lubbock last year. The look of excitement as they left and the look of amazement and gratitude when they returned was an amazing opportunity.
